I created this thread to gather some ideas for future modifications or newfunctions for the next watch models. I think this will apply mainly to thehardware since other functions could be solved by firmware/software.

Let me start with two wishes, which are related to eachother:

1. Since I downloaded my first training data from the watch into my computer,I didn't like to use the screwdriver to "open" and "close" the watch for data transfer !In the meantime, I broke the edge of the original screwdriver and I have to useanother one...For the next models I strongly suggest a wireless connection (Bluetooth ?).

2. Although data transfer can be done wirelessly, I'm afraid that battery chargingwill still need a cable. I know that the screwdriver solution is for water protection,but I still don't want to have an additional tool. And I also do not want to have anadditional (means: special !) cable for charging. I would prefer a standard USB connector, so that all other cable (like digital camera, mobile phone) would fit !

Also, we are cooking the next generation product for traveling "GH-561", the PC SW is called " Traveler Manager" which supports direct to create route on SW and export to KML or GPX file. We are testing it and almost be finished, if you are interested, please let me know.

I am also very mutch interrested in the new software called GH-561", and the PC SW " Traveler Manager", because a lot of times I want to redo the route. take little peaces out and rejoin them. I have Ozi, but not always the maps to draw on. So with traveler manager it becomes much easer. There is a possibillity with Bikely.com to upload tracks, but is nothing like what you are offering.

Ohhh yesss of course. I´m interested in this SW and, yes, I know that the present software if that is able to work with files KML and GPX, but the problem that I have is that I cannot introduce those files to the GH-625 like “route”, that is to say, that I export if it from software, later does not appear listing in menu NAVIGATION --> ROUTES --> LIST ALL.I do not know if I have been able to explain it well. I hope that thus it is.

With the new generation watch you could think in splitting it in to modules.What do I mean:

Take a basic module that thus the most functions.

make a water sport module, runner and cycling module, climbing hiking one

Sell the basic watch module with one of the above modules.The advantage of this is, without pushing the processor you can put a lot of extra functionality to the module watch, no ballast of carrying thinks the user thus not want. Example a water sporter is not very interested in altitude ore the g radians of a hill in %. so the personal pages are not filled with stuff they don't use. Therefore they get more detail in the stuff they want to see. Makes the watch more flexible, and easier to sell at a nice price.

Hi Iceland

You might be misunderstanding.The "Training Manager" onlys support GH-561 direct to upload route, for GH-625, you just be able to create route and use KML or GPX to downlaod to watch in ACTIVITY.

Hi Geoffrey,

This is already a big advantage to us. I am out for a week, so don't worry, see you all in a weeks time.
